Introduction and some of my knives

Hi Todor:

First, welcome to the forum! I must compliment you on your written English - it is very good......as a matter of fact, it's better than some Americans. :D

I've looked at your knives in great detail - though I'm not an expert in your style, I know a little about visual balance. Your knives have good visual balance between the blade width and handle - also, the embellishments are very classy. Nice work and I look forward to seeing more of it.

Best,

TK

The puukko isn't my style but it's still nice looking knife.

This blade though! You have a keen eye for design. Beautiful! TK said it well... Great visual balance. Relaxing to look at. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

This one is my favorite of your recents - the brass furniture really compliments the dyed wood - I REALLY like the coining treatment (don't be surprised if you see it on one of my offerings) A lot of good work went into this knife.
 
Hey guys , let me show you another puukko. The thing that is worth noting here is the wood. This " treasure " was found by a good friend of mine and I think that he will be proud when I tell him that a piece of his find will go far beyond the ocean to make someone happy.
